What does the Address title mean to you? I started to Blog to Chronicle about my loss of speech due to a recent stroke. Hence ;
“Its To Speak and to heard”. As I type away my mind rushes as as what to say… correction type. Here it goes;
The first thought whenever A health trauma or any bad event for that matter comes to one’s mind , Why Me, How did that happen, it is not fair, or other words. Self Denial . For Myself; 56 years old, overweight , work six days a week, smoke, work stress, and not to mention an unhealthy diet.
What did I expect to happen? The Day .. The plan was to pick up my youngest son from the Airport. He was flying home to NC from Portland on a Saturday night Red Eye. Both and I wife woke early enough to get to the airport 30 minutes early to wait in the Terminal. I was feeling fine , singing in the shower and the whole nine yards. When I opened the car to leave I had to about a thirty second dizzy Spell. I had a slightly odd feeling as I drove to exit the the neighborhood, but not concerning at this point . At this point, My wife asked about the Airlines and where I thought my son would like stop for Breakfast. I started to answer…….But I could not speak! I started several times and the only sound I was able to make was a grunting noise. At first my wife was thinking I was fooling around, this thought was quickly dismissed when I pulled the car. She immediately rushed me to the hospital and the Doctors quickly went to work and Reality as once knew would be over.
